2007/01/07 - em84xx plugin, version 0.0.13
- added cDevice base class calls to cDeviceEm84xx::Mute, Play, Freeze and Clear, as suggested and done by KLS (the -a VDR cmdline should work now)
- added time-jump function (red key) to dvd-/discplayer
- when a cdda- or svcd-discs finishes the player stops now
- progressbar disappears when entering a dvd menu
- Key 4/6 in DVD mode: prev/next chapter
- Key 7/9 in Player: prev/next title/track
- Key 1 in DVD/SCVD/VCD mode: next audio stream
- Key 2 in DVD mode: next subpicture stream
- Key 3 in DVD mode: next angle
- removed EMNODVD compile switch - dvd detection is now done via env var USE_DRIVE (if you have no DVD drive, ensure that USE_DRIVE is not set!)
- output contrast, saturation and brightness can be set in plugin-setup
- Mute doesn't toggle anymore (like VDR does)
- spliited up plugin setup option into four setup pages
- dvd/disc-player keys are now configurable
- renamed settings names for VDRs setup.conf - please check and adopt your settings when using this version!
- grabimage 50% implemented: the osd will be grabbed - so a grabbased-remote like in vdradmin should work
2006/12/26 - em84xx plugin, version 0.0.12
- DVD(Disc)-Player keeps now aspect-ratio settings from plugin
- Added new functions to DVD(Disk)-Player: fast Trickmodes, Next/Prev Chapter/Track, 1min jumps on green/yellow, DVD Menu on Disc start, Bookmark, trackinfo
- new DVD settings in plugin-setup: "DVD menu on disc start", "DVD audio language", "DVD subpicture language", "DVD menu language", "DVD subpicture"
- recoded plugin setup-code
- updated README
2006/10/11 - em84xx plugin, version 0.0.11
- fixed ac3<->pcm-spdif switching code (thx to Uwe!)
- fixed switching l/r mono channels in cDeviceEm84xx::GetAudioChannelDevice and cDeviceEm84xx::SetAudioChannelDevice (thx to Uwe!)
- fixed handler "bug" in osd-code (to support mplayer - basic!)

- reworked thread-replay-code a little bit
- changed FMPFlush(FALSE); to FMPFlush(TRUE); in cDeviceEm84xx::Flush and cDeviceEm84xx::Clear (I assume an error in the NS2k documentation on this call)
- corrected Bitmap-Handling in cOsdEm84xx::Flush (this should avoid too high cpu-load when using the osd with channelinfo, progressbar, mp3-plugin) - thx to Uwe for reporting and investigating this one

- reset audio after coming back from pmExtern playMode (thx to Uwe for reporting this one)
- changing pcm-packets with pes-id 0xBD to id 0xA0 - em84 won't play pcm in 0xBD - so mp3- and mp3ng-plugin works now! (thx to Uwe+helau for invest. this one!!)
